Not a fan of that Tkachuk trade, either we move him for Eichel or we don't move him. Simple as that.

u don't want a 40 goal scorer and a young dman

Valimaki? Dube? Wolf isn't ready. Pelletier isn't a center

James Neal scored 40 alongside Crosby as well

I seriously doubt Stecher gets traded in the offseason . Since he is in the final season of his contract, I'm pretty sure he gets traded at the TDL. Where he will bring in a better return.

We don't NEED another young dman. You are bumping our best young dman to the 3rd pair

Guentzel is a great player and all but Tkachuk is both younger and better. Pettersson is overpaid, no interest at all. Hanifin and Gio are both marginally better

Detroit declines, offer not good.

Pens take this and run.

I dont want someone whos dependant on his center to score 40 and an overpaid dman that wouldnt be ahead of Valimaki or Hanifin in our rotations for someone whos our highest ceiling player since Iginla. Eichel is the only player I consider moving Tkachuk for, otherwise im keeping him and hoping he re-signs when his contract is up.

I can't see the wings doing this, but at the deadline they could do it if they don't resign him for a 2nd + better prospect
